This system prevents fuel from overflowing into the carburetor from the float chamber. While the engine is being driven at full throttle, the float chamber temperature becomes high and may cause fuel in the chamber to bubble and force its way out through the air vent tube and into the carburetor air stream. The VCV system controls float chamber pressure to prevent this bubbling. The vacuum control valve opens the passage from the float chamber to the intake manifold according to secondary venturi vacuum.

This system increases the amount of air to the carburetor to prevent overrich air/fuel ratio at high altitudes. The system consists of the high-altitude compensator and carburetor. The high-altitude compensator provides additional air bleeds for the primary main and secondary main fuel circuits and supplies additional air into the intake manifold.
